Definitions

• the present invention relates to chloral compounds and herbicides containing them.
• chloralides particularly glycolic acid chloralide (DAS 1,059,710) as herbicidal agents; however, their action is unsatisfactory.
• An object of the invention is new and valuable chloral compounds. Another object of the invention is chloral compounds which have a strong herbicidal action. A further object of the invention is a process for controlling unwanted plants with chloral compounds without damaging crop plants.
• R denotes the radical X denoting halogen (chlorine, bromine), a cyano or nitro group, an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms (methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl), and alkoxyl (methoxy, ethoxy), haloa'lkyl (chloromethyl, trichloromethyl, trifluoromethyl, tribromomethyl) or haloalkenyl radical (the various meanings of X may be identical or different), m denotes one of the integers from 0 to 4, .n denotes one of the integers from 0 to 6.
• the agents for regulating plant growth according to this invention may be used as solutions, emulsions, suspension or dusts.
• the form of application depends entirely on the purpose for which the agents are being used; in any case it should ensure a fine distribution of the active ingredient.
• hydrocarbons such as tetrahydronaphthalene and alkylated naphthalenes are suitable.
• Aqueous formulations may be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes or wettable powders by adding water.
• the ingredients as such or dissolved in a solvent may be homogenized in water or organic solvents by means of Wetting or dispersing agents, e.g. polyethylene oxide adducts, concentrates which are suitable for dilution with water may be prepared from active ingredient, emulsifying or dispersing agent and possibly solvent.
• Dusts may be prepared by mixing or grinding the active ingredients with a solid carrier, e.g. clay, talc, diatomaceous earth or a fertilizer. It is also possible to mix the active ingredients with fungicides, insecticides or with other herbicidal active ingredients.
• a solid carrier e.g. clay, talc, diatomaceous earth or a fertilizer. It is also possible to mix the active ingredients with fungicides, insecticides or with other herbicidal active ingredients.
• the active ingredients may be obtained by reaction of chloral with the corresponding amine or hydroxy compounds.
• the preparation of the active ingredients according to the invention is illustrated by the following examples:
• N-(Z-trichloro-l-hydroxyethoxyethyl) -phtha limidine (I) 885 parts (by weight) of N-(Z-hydroxyethyl)-phthalimidine is dissolved in 4,500 parts of carbon tetrachloride; the solution is reacted within 3 hours with 800 parts of chloral at 60 to 70 C. and with the addition of 2 parts of H After having been allowed to cool, the precipitated colorless crystals are suction-filtered and washed with carbon tetrachloride.
• EXAMPLE 3 Loamy sandy soil is filled into pots and sown with the seeds of annual meadow grass (Poa annua), orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), wild oats (Avena fatua), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and green foxtail (Setaria viridis).
• the soil is subsequently treated with 4 kg. of I and 4 kg. of II and, for comparison, with 4 kg. of glycolic acid chloralide (III) having the formula H2CCO these amounts of the active ingredients each being dispersed in 500 liters of Water per hectare, and planted with tomatoes. After 4 to 5 Weeks it is ascertained that I and II have not only a stronger herbicidal action than III, but also superior compatibility with tomatoes.
• the results of the experiment may be seen from the following table:
• Loarny sandy soil is placed in dishes; the seeds f beet (Beta vulgaris), soya beans (Glycine hispida) and large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) are sown in rows in each dish.
• the soil is subsequently treated with 4 kg. per hectare of I and 4 kg. per hectare of II, these amounts of the active ingredients each being dispersed in 500 liters of water per hectare. The following results are ascertained after 4 to 5 weeks:
